NHL Picks: Hockey Picks of the Day

Welcome to Wednesday in the NHL where we’ll see just four games on the docket. We’ve got them all covered for you here with short thoughts on three of the games down below.

NHL
Betting: Wednesday Picks

Record:
125-144 (-1112)

Montreal
Canadiens at Pittsburgh Penguins

The Canadiens and Penguins have very different goals this
Wednesday. The Habs need a win to maintain their second seed in the East while
the Pens don’t have a whole lot to play for. However, Pittsburgh hasn’t showed
any signs of taking their foot off the gas as they’ve won four straight. As for
the Habs, they’ve lost two in a row

Peter Budaj will be in net for the Habs as Carey Price has
been a gong show recently. Budaj has been standing on his head recently as he’s
allowed just eight goals in his last six. Pittsburgh probably wins this game
but it’s really a toss-up, so I’ll take a flier on the under.

Laying -205 on the NHL odds with Boston makes sense in some
respect because Buffalo stinks and has nothing to play for anyways. However,
Boston has lost two straight and three of five. Buffalo has won two straight
and five of seven, so they might be game.

I’m not attracted to either side here as I don’t see value
one way or another. If you like Boston, you can take a shot on the puck line –
they have won by two or more in their two wins against Buffalo this season –
but I’ll take the under here and hope that two decent goaltenders can take us
there.

The Detroit Red Wings have just one win in their last four,
yet you have to pay -150 to add them to your NHL picks on Wednesday. On top of
that, they are playing on the road where they have also lost three of four.

Calgary might be a good option here as a long shot as they
have won two of three. They’ve already topped the Red Wings twice this season
while scoring nine goals in the process. Much has changed since then but
Calgary as a home dog is more attractive than Detroit as a massive road
favorite.
